Kelly Ripa reveals what she thinks Taylor Swift should to post-Eras Tour

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Just as Taylor Swift wrapped up her monumental Eras Tour, Kelly Ripa provided some thoughts on what the superstar should do next.

During the Tuesday, December 10 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa reflected on the pop star’s incredible achievement to her husband and co-host Mark Consuelos, noting that Swift, 34, has shattered records, performing to over 10 million fans worldwide and generating more than $2 billion in ticket sales.

“She really pulled off quite the feat,” Ripa, 54, said to Consuelos, 53, adding, “And now the mourning period begins,” acknowledging how much the world has been swept up in the magic of the tour, which came to an end in Vancouver on Sunday, December 8.

When Consuelos asked his wife what she thought the “Fortnight” singer might do after such an intense and rewarding experience, Ripa jokingly suggested, “You go to Disney World!” However, Consuelos, the voice of reason, suggested Swift take some time to rest and relax after her grueling schedule. He noted that the singer would likely face a bit of an “adjustment” now that the tour was over. “I bet for her, it’s going to be a transition — an adjustment,” he noted.

Ripa, on the other hand, offered a more work-oriented suggestion: “I think she should sit down and write a book about the tour,” she said. “People want to hear about the tour, and then she can record the audio version!” With excitement, Ripa added, “I’ve got it all worked out for her, call me for more ideas!”

The host pointed out in the episode that the 14-time Grammy winner had performed 152 shows across five continents over two years, Ripa later admitting that she initially thought Swift’s tour consisted of many more performances.

“From my zoomed-out perspective of just following it on the news and watching my friends post about it on social media, I would have thought she performed way more than 152 shows,” the former soap opera actress said. “I would have said triple that many,” she doubled-down, referencing the way the media and fans alike made the tour seem endless with constant posts and coverage.

While Swift’s post-tour plans are unknown right now, fans can get a glimpse into the journey through her Eras Tour Book –– a visual coffee table book which was released on Thanksgiving weekend.

The duo also agreed they’d love to have Swift join them as a guest on their show, which airs on ABC weekdays at 9 a.m. E.T.
